New publication: Stochastic simulation of channelized sedimentary bodies using a constrained L-system

Simulating realistic sedimentary bodies while conditioning all the available data is a major topic of research. In this new paper published in Computers & Geosciences journal, we present a new method to simulate the channel morphologies resulting from the deposition processes. It relies on a formal grammar system, the Lindenmayer system, or L-system. Attraction and repulsion constraints enable to condition various data types, from well data to probability cubes or a confinement. The application to a synthetic case highlights the method's ability to manage various data while preserving at best the channel morphology.
